"...Een voordeel bij het maken van experimentele wereldmuziek is de ruimte die door de muzikanten gecreëerd wordt voor improvisatie waardoor elk nummer bij een nieuwe speelbeurt telkens helemaal anders kan gaan klinken."
"...One advantage of creating experimental world music is the scope for improvisation that the musicians create, which means that each track can sound completely different every time it is performed."
Thank you Valère Sampermans and Rootstime for the review of our new Album Unland.

This week. Different years. Same band. 30 years on stage. Brussels based. Jaune Toujours.
Some weeks are festivals. Island festivals. City festivals. Street festivals. Festivals on the other side of an ocean.
2005 Antwerp. A concert in a refugee centre. A reminder that music often travels where headlines stop.
2007 Terschelling. Ferries. Camping fields. Wind off the sea. The kind of festival where the journey is part of the story. Tilburg. Festival Mundial. Another stop on a road that kept widening.
2010 Montréal. Francofolies. Brussels songs crossing the Atlantic.
2015 Szolnok. Several nights at Tiszavirág Festival. Smoke, lights, brass and movement. The stage glowing long after sunset. Brussels. A Bal Moderne for older dancers. Proof that a dance floor has no age limit.
2018 A photoshoot in Park 28. Urban landscapes. Unexpected props. A band portrait becoming something stranger and more playful. Zeeland. Eindeloos Eiland Festival. Another island. Another crowd.
Different countries. Different languages. Different stages. Same energy. Still crossing borders. Still following invitations. Still finding people ready to dance.
Different places. Same week, stretched across time. We don’t archive the past. We carry it. Still playing. Still moving. Still open to the next room.
“Perhaps home is sometimes nothing more than the sound of people listening to one another.”
Some reviews stay with you long after you’ve read them.

"From the first notes… you are instantly transported to distant lands, wrapped in a sound world that is both unfamiliar and intriguing..."

What moved us most wasn’t the praise itself, but the feeling that someone had really listened to the music and to the ideas behind it.

"... je wordt als luisteraar meteen meegesleept. Luister maar eens hoe je in het eerste nummer, Nachtschade, meteen door de trompet van Martini gepakt wordt. Zo begin je een album. En luister dan ook nog even hoe ze het afsluiten met Batich Ahmar, dan weet je dat je een pracht van een plaat in handen hebt."
‘... as a listener, you’re immediately swept away. Just listen to how, in the first track, ‘Nachtschade’, you’re instantly captivated by Martini’s trumpet. That’s how you start an album. And then just listen to how they close it off with ‘Batich Ahmar’ – that’s when you know you’ve got a real gem of an album in your hands.’

"...Het timbre van dit trio is redelijk uniek. Door hun wijze van musiceren spelen ze door middel van suggestie juist dát, wat níet hoorbaar is."
"...The timbre of this trio is quite unique. Through their style of playing, they use suggestion to convey precisely that which is not audible."
Thank you Mattie Poels and Music Frames for this heartwarming review of our new Album Unland.
